JMHO
The strike authorization ballot email mentioned nearly 15,000 pilots sending a message to the company through this vote. Easily 1,000 plus pilots are currently on probation, including whichever pilots are inelegible to vote for being on leave, not good standing, etc... I think what he's trying to say is that someone could try to twist this into a "poor voter turnout" narrative to those ignorant of why these pilots can't actually vote.
